    Hello All

    I haven't been on swagbucks for months. Just wanted some advise whether it is worth coming back to it? I have just tried and got thrown out of three surveys :( and the evian video is not working for me :( not a good start lol.

    What are the gold surveys? these are new since I last looked.

    Due to now working every day I will only be able to log on late evening and weekends, does anyone else just look at these times? do you find it is worthwhile or have all the surveys/offers gone by then?

    I could do with a few extra pounds for treat money but don't want to waste my time if I am never going to get surveys in the limited times I have available to check.

    Appreciate any advise and I will let you all know how many points I end up with at the end of the day, currently on 3 for the failed surveys.

    Thanks think i keep saving for my £100 like i normally do :)

    You'd get better value to redeem at the sale rate. Might not save a fortune, but every swagbuck counts! ;)

    Credited for me as well.
    FYI I can only ever get this game to credit it IE... it never works for me in chrome.

    I have always tried it in Firefox, but only got it to credit once. I got to level 1 the last time it credited, but got to level 2 today, but got stuck finding a villain as there was no path to follow and I was going over the same ground. Is there a secret to this and how long should it take to play and credit?

    At the moment I'm finding surveys are about the same as they've always been, some credit some don't, some days I DQ from everything some I don't.

    I'm something of a night owl on the whole and find that the times of day don't make alot of difference to how many surveys I get but I don't do offers so couldn't say if they're affected.

    But if you're times limited then only you can say if it's worth it for you.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    All I will say is stick with it. I thought it was a load of rubbish when I first joined and it does take a good few weeks to get used to the site. You need to learn to twist the truth if you want to get accepted for most surveys. They are looking for certain answers and the only way you can learn is by doing the surveys.

    For example, you'll get surveys on gaming consoles and they'll often ask if you are interested in purchasing an Xbox One, Playstation 4 or Wii U. If you say no then you'll most likely be kicked out. Always say you're interested.

    You also get the surveys which will ask you about insurance, bank accounts etc. Always say you are interested in switching providers in the near future.

    Basically these surveys are mostly about advertising products. They want to speak to people who are interested in purchasing new products.

    Clixsense is actually a better site. You can earn more over there and you're doing the same surveys you get on swagbucks. OpinionOutpostUK is also a good site to join. I average about £10-£15 a week on Swagbucks, about £20 a week on Clixsense and about £7.50 a week on OpinionOutpostUK.

    Sorry in advance Quack. :D

    I find, at weekend, early morning seems best time for surveys (before 9.30 am).

    I got two DS this morning and only time I've ever got 5 DS was sunday morning.

    Who wants to do Swaggers at 8am on Sunday? Only oddities like me! But later on Sunday everyone is on t'internet, which is why I think people then find Sundays difficult.

    But it's personal preference and circumstances. I can't say what will be worthwhile for others especially as its only ever a few quid a week.
